The person who talked to Hyoyuan was a young man in his twenties. How should I put it... he was quite handsome, but he didn't look like a good person. Hyoyuan didn't have a good impression of him.
However, as a courtesy, Xiaoyuan simply nodded and answered.
"That's right, I am." Because he didn't want to continue talking, Xiaoyuan didn't even ask him who he was.
However, the man was somewhat persistent in introducing himself.
I won’t go into details, but Hyoyeon understood. This man was a newly graduated director. He managed to get in here through some connections to look for scripts. He happened to meet Hyoyeon, and he said it was fate, and he wanted to buy it.
The copyright of her works... is still the movie "My Love from the Star" that Hyoyeon doesn't want to film now.
The young director's words were fantastic, but Hyoyeon had no intention of relaxing at all.
Hyoyeon had a pretty good temper, and after explaining it, he politely rejected the director whose name he didn’t even remember. However, Hyoyeon never imagined that these directors who wanted to get ahead would meet the director who had written "Stolen by the Gods"
What was the reaction of the author of "Five Years"?
The movie "Five Years Stolen by the Gods" can be called a model of Korean low-budget movies. It has the fifth highest number of moviegoers in Korean history. I don't know how many arrogant directors and film critics have been blinded, especially
Before it was released, those anti-Lee Hyori and film critics were totally against her.
The final result is of course self-evident, but because of this, Hyoyeon's other novels have also become popular in the eyes of these film companies and directors.
Otherwise, Ji Soo-hyun would not have been entrusted with calling Hyoyeon out. But what is certain is that the person who asked Ji Soo-hyun to call Hyoyeon out was definitely not the young director in front of Hyoyeon.
But this guy is really persistent! It’s really annoying to Hyoyeon.
Cao Cao arrived as soon as he said Cao Cao. Perhaps the appearance of this young director made some people displeased, so two people immediately came over and asked Xiaoyuan to go aside to "discuss business."
Hyoyuan looked at Chi Soo-hyun and saw that she also looked helpless. Chi Soo-hyun had warned her before that this might happen, but Hyo-yeon didn't take it to heart.
Before Xiaoyuan came here, she really thought it was just a Writers Association banquet. How could she have thought that someone would invite her so formally...
It was a film company, and what Hyoyuan met was the president of this company... It was so generous that the president came directly to meet Hyoyuan. Is this considered a courtesy? Hyoyuan actually had a good first impression of this uncle.
of.
But leaving aside the fat uncle in his forties who seemed quite friendly, Xiaoyuan was even more surprised by the other person sitting next to him.
"Xi Jin Xiaoyuan, long time no see!" This man, who is over 1.8 meters tall, stood up first to greet Xiaoyuan.
"Hey, Daniel, long time no see." Xiaoyuan also greeted him.
Daniel Henry is the handsome actor Daniel whom Hyoyeon met on the set of "My Name is Kim Sam-soon" last year. Hyoyeon even exchanged phone numbers with him. Later, Hyoyeon also went to the filming set many times because of the osT.
, the two met each other many times, but lost contact after that.
Hyoyeon suddenly felt that things were different... It seemed that I still liked men at that time... Hyoyeon himself couldn't even remember.
"I heard that Kim Hyoyeon xi and Daniel xi knew each other before?" The CEO uncle didn't look annoying at all, "It just so happened that Daniel xi just signed a movie contract with our company, so I wanted to ask him to help us.
, I would like to ask Kim Hyoyeonxi to make one of your works into a movie for us..."
It turns out that the company was established last year and has always been engaged in film production. The movie "Millionaire's First Love" with Lee Yeon Hee as the protagonist that SM Company previously produced was produced by their company.
However, this is Daniel's first film that he truly makes by himself.
The president made an honest request to Hyo-yeon, but Hyo-yeon was too embarrassed to say no...
"As for SM Company, I can request it from Director Li Xiuman. Considering the friendly and cooperative relationship between our two companies, I believe he will agree." Seeing Xiaoyuan's hesitation, the president added.
After worrying for a while, Hyoyuan finally told them the truth, "President Jin, it's not that I don't want to entrust you with my works to make movies, but... I feel that none of my works can be made now."
Okay, the possibility of failure is very high. The previous "Five Years Stolen by the Gods" was completely driven by the popularity of Lee Hyori sunbaenim, coupled with her own momentum and unexpected results. It does not mean that my novel is good.
To what extent..."
Hyoyeon is also an honest person, and he is not talking nonsense when he belittles his own works, because except for "My Love from the Star", although his other books can barely be called bestsellers, their actual results are not that good.
"Besides," Hyoyeon scratched his head and said another reason, "I have already agreed with my friends that the heroines of my novels will definitely be them. I want to wait until we debut and become successful before we film them.
It will become a movie..." Although Sooyoung and YoonA may have been joking before, Hyoyeon really remembered it.
"Perhaps, President Nim, you also know that I will debut next year, and I will go to the United States next month to study for half a year, so I may not have time..." Hyoyuan said it very tactfully, but the meaning of rejection was still quite obvious.
Daniel is not very good at Korean now. He didn't understand half of what Hyoyeon said just now, but he still understood the basic meaning.
The president obviously fell into silence, shaking his wine glass, wondering what he was thinking.
His original intention was to use the topicality of "Five Years Stolen by the Gods" to make another film of Hyoyeon's, at least to sign the contract first. It was the first time for their company to produce a movie, and the script was submitted to their company.
There are still very few writers and directors, and most of the activity funds are basically invested in the movie that Daniel will shoot.
Normally, when making a movie for the first time, the film company should first check the box office of the movie before deciding the amount of investment for the next movie. But the president is now planning the next movie in advance.
"Then Kim Hyo-yeon xi, how about this..." The president thought for a long time and organized his words to say to Hyo-yeon, "Our company is planning to release Daniel xi's movie this time next year. Can you please be there?"
Before that, write another novel, or independently complete the outline or script of a movie?"
"This time next year..." Xiaoyuan was stunned, but he immediately reacted and said regretfully, "Sorry, President Nim, this time next year I may have just made my debut, so I probably won't have time..."
"Then add half a year before March of 2018. How about this? If your friend's acting skills are not bad, I can also ask her to be the protagonist." The president seemed to have lost his temper and interrupted Xiaoyuan directly.
He said firmly.
He suddenly became tough, and Xiaoyuan felt relieved. Xiaoyuan was not afraid of chopping flesh with a knife, but afraid of needles. Xiaoyuan felt uncomfortable after rejecting the president so many times just now.
"Okay!" Xiaoyuan nodded. After all, the president has given in so many times. Xiaoyuan should have agreed no matter what, otherwise he would have quit on purpose. But the novel is no longer good, and the previous one was only eight years old.
If I write a thousand words, I’ll run out of time, and I won’t be able to write a new novel at all.
But...how to write a movie script?
